Yes, I heard this on CBC the other day...the 'glow' gene shows that they can put other genes into cats, and make them have the chronic illnesses that humans do, for RESEARCH!

Going to see if there is a petition anywhere yet....

ETA:
From Korea.net: "'The ability to manipulate the fluorescent protein and use this to clone cats, opens new horizons for artificially creating animals with human illnesses linked to genetic causes,' a government official said. This, he said, can speed up efforts to find treatment and drugs by allowing scientists to study animals and conduct experiments that are not possible with human patients."
EEEK!

I would be happy to set up a petition, but to whom would it go????
